Structural Behaviour of Concrete Beams using Marble Dust and Hybrid Rods in Self compaction Concrete

The research on the development of strength in concrete led to the invention of many new techniques. Likewise the replacement of basic constituents (cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate) with other material is also happening in a huge, such as replacing cement with silica fumes, GGBS, fly ash, Granite and Marble powder etc.In this project experimental study was carried out using marble powder in self compaction concrete. This project aims in utilizing the construction industry waste (i.e. marble dust) in a useful manner to prepare the concrete and also to reduce the environmental effect due to the damping of marble powder. This project is carried out as an experimental investigation on the properties of M-40 concrete with replacement of fine aggregate by Marble powder. The various proportions of marble powder replaced for fine aggregate (i.e., Natural sand) are 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and effects will be studied. In addition to the study of fresh and hardened properties of concrete in the self compaction and fabrication will be carried out for a beam using TMT rods and HYBRID rods.
